Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Compare grading math across cards · Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Blue-Eyes White Dragon SDK-001 is the Ultra Rare cover card from the English Starter Deck: Kaiba. Collectors search for it because it is an early English Blue-Eyes printing tied to Seto Kaiba, with 1st Edition and Unlimited copies priced as separate objects.
Why this card matters
Verified factKonami's official card database lists Blue-Eyes White Dragon as card code SDK-001 in Starter Deck Kaiba, released March 29, 2002, with Ultra Rare rarity. PSA's CardFacts page treats Starter Deck: Kaiba Blue-Eyes as a heavily collected early Yu-Gi-Oh! card and separates graded populations and sales by PSA category. For CardVolume, the collectible object is not just the character; it is the English SDK-001 printing, edition, rarity, and grade. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factStart with the printed set code under the art: SDK-001 is Starter Deck: Kaiba, not LOB-001, SKE-001, BPT-003, DDS-001, or any later Blue-Eyes release. For pre-2014 Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, PSA's collecting guide places the 1st Edition text below the artwork; Unlimited copies lack that text. Konami states that First Edition and Limited Edition security foils are gold and Unlimited security foils are silver, but this should be combined with set code, edition text, photos, and slab verification. [3][4]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisObserved PSA records show very different sale levels for 1st Edition and Unlimited slabs, so those categories should not be merged. Recent PSA similar-item records for 1st Edition PSA 10 examples include several 2026 five-figure sales, while PSA CardFacts for the Unlimited category shows much lower PSA 10 and PSA 9 realized prices in its auction table. Grade also matters because centering, surface, corners, and edge defects can separate an otherwise correct SDK-001 from a top-grade slab. [2][5][6][7]
Authenticity checks
Verified factCompare the card against official references for the SDK-001 release and against a known authentic example; use several checks together, including set code, edition text, rarity treatment, card back, surface, size, edge quality, and seller photos. Do not use destructive tests. If slabbed, verify the cert details and compare the slab photos where available, but remember that copied cert numbers exist and a database match alone does not authenticate the physical card. [1][4][8]
Telling the versions apart
| Version | How to identify it |
|---|---|
| 1st Edition Ultra Rare | Printed set code SDK-001, Ultra Rare foil name/art treatment, and 1st Edition text below the artwork; early First Edition cards use a gold security foil, but that foil is only one check. |
| Unlimited Ultra Rare | Printed set code SDK-001 and Ultra Rare treatment, with no 1st Edition text; Unlimited cards use a silver security foil, but the foil is not proof of authenticity. |
